SUMMARY:Sutrayana Study and Practice Intensive — Part One: The Foundation Yana
DESCRIPTION:\n\nDharma Ocean’s online Sutrayana Study and Practice Intensive offers practitioners an opportunity to deepen their understanding and experience of the lineage embodied by Reggie Ray and his teacher\, Chögyam Trungpa\, Rinpoche. \nIn order to encourage a detailed exploration of the Sutrayana teachings and practices\, this program is presented in two parts - Part I: The Foundation Yana and Part II: The Mahayana (offered in the fall of 2019). Each part consists of a 10-week course of study and practice that is engaged at home\, deep within our daily lives. \nPart I of the Sutrayana Study and Practice Intensive focuses upon the foundational stages of human spiritual development. Teachings on basic goodness\, karma\, and egolessness are presented. Practices that facilitate a personal experience of these teachings - aspects of the Meditating with the Body curriculum and the Somatic Practice of Pure Awareness - are engaged. Part II focuses on the Mahayana stage of development. \nProgram Format\nThroughout the Sutrayana Intensive\, participants engage a college-style curriculum that presents the basic perspectives of this lineage through a wide range of readings\, listenings\, and practices. \nSuccessful completion of this training program requires regular participation in online group discussions. Such participation involves posting reflections and responses to assigned study questions and fellow students’ comments at least once or twice each week. Ongoing communication with an assigned meditation instructor via email and group calls is also expected. \nThe final section of this event - and the second requirement for successful program completion - offers an at-home exam. The exam is designed to give participants one more opportunity to refine their understanding of presented material and\, through this\, their experience of the Dharma Ocean lineage. \nAs with any study program of this depth\, participants should expect to dedicate 10-15 hours per week to the above. It is recommended all potential participants reflect upon their lives’ capacity to support such a commitment prior to registering.   \nIn order to take part in Part I of the Study and Practice Intensive\, participants must have an established meditation practice and a desire to explore the teachings of this lineage in a thorough way.  \nParticipation in Part II (offered in fall 2019) requires successful completion of the Foundation Yana portion of this program\, or any previous Sutrayana event offered by Dharma Ocean. As noted\, successful completion is determined by a combination of regular program engagement and the display of appropriate understanding in the at-home exam. \nSince completion of the entire Sutrayana Intensive is a prerequisite for Dharma Ocean’s Vajra Assembly\, interested individuals should plan to complete Sutrayana Mahayana in the year prior to attending this latter program. \n\n\nLocation\nOnline \n \nCoordinator\ninfo@dharmaocean.org \n\n\n \n\nAbout the Teacher\n\nA student of Reggie’s since 1999\, Neil’s teaching reflects an ongoing interest in the rich intersection of spirituality and everyday life. A partner\, parent\, and householder\, he is curious about how deep engagement with this lineage affects our relationship with the ‘ordinary’. Neil’s straightforward and accessible instruction is an ideal compliment to the Sutrayana material\, encouraging us to understand and integrate these teachings within the context of our varied and vibrant daily lives. \n\n \n\n\n\nCity Sanghas\nThere will be opportunities to join live study groups in certain cities that have enough participants and a resident meditation instructor. You can learn more about these groups\, and inquire about a group of your own\, when the registration link becomes live (it will be in the upper right of this page). \n \nProgram Calendar\nThe Sutrayana Study and Practice Intensive will take place over five two-week units.
